Windows 7: Latest Nvidia 9800GT Drivers that work with Windows 7?

Ive been looking around on the internet to see which drivers work best with Windows 7 and it seems like 185.85 seems to be the best. But i was wondering as the post i found was from 2009, is there any of the new drivers working better with windows 7? I did see that 314.22 worked for some.

My missus has a 9800GT and it runs everything as good as could be with 314.22 drivers. Even with my GTX 560 i run the same driver's. No point in going with the latest unless there is some fix for certain games and your model of card. This is really all they bring new drivers out for fixing game bugs and making newer cards more compatible.

The reason I am asking, is because with the 9800GT it has problems running windows 7, especially when playing games, it will just freeze with multiple colors on the screen and then the only way to get it back is to do a reset.

I tried the 327.23 driver which is the latest and it didn't fix the problem, also I tried 314.22 but had no luck.

Has anyone else had any problems on this forum with windows 7 and a 9800GT graphics card?

I had 2 9800GT GigaByte 1Gb slients until recently when one of them was RA, repaired failed again and was deemed unrepairable and replaced at my request with a Radeon HD6670 2 gb card. This at 3 years old, talk about standing behind a product. Anyway to answer your question the other board is still in daily use working perfectly. You could clean dust out of the fan using some compressed air and if you know how dismantle the heatsink from the GPU and very carefully clean off and replace the heatsink compound. It is either overheating or it is dying. Use GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility and report the temps on idle and gaming.
Good Luck. Tony

Well it is not overheating so far so I would suspect 2 possibilities. It is dying or the PSU is unable to supply the voltages or current required. Is it still under warranty? The video card does not report a fan speed, is it a fanless design? If not is the fan rotating? What is the Make and model of the unit other than 9800GT Gigabyte, Asus, etc. Fill in your system specs.

Latest NVIDIA drivers (296.10) installation fails.Hey there;
Am I the only one who can't gets this install to work? I've tried every which way I can think of - express, custom, clean - and nothing seems to work. I don't know if it's the update part or what, but the thing just won't install at all.
Any suggestions?

Issues with Adobe Flash 10.1 or latest NVIDIA 257.21 drivers or both?I can't tell exactly which could be causing these issues as I updated my flash to 10.1 and my NVIDIA drivers to the latest 257.21 (upgrading from 197.45) at the same time, but I am now (coincidentally?) seeing the two following issues:
